Albakr was arrested on October 10, two days after he evaded police during a raid on his flat in the eastern German city of Chemnitz. The raid uncovered 1.5 kilograms of explosives.

Police had been monitoring the 22-year-old, believing he and other suspects were in contact with the "Islamic State" militant group and were in the advanced stages of planning an attack on a Berlin airport. Two days after his arrest, Albakr hanged himself in a Leipzig prison.

Apart from accusations of bungling his arrest and remand, police in Saxony are facing renewed criticism after media reports suggested that they missed an opportunity to arrest Albakr in August. The suspect allegedly caused a fire at an apartment hotel in August when experimenting with chemicals for the production of explosives, before fleeing the building, the weekly news magazine "Der Spiegel" reported Saturday.

The blaze caused 6,000 euros worth of damage, and the hotel owner said police failed to realize the seriousness of the incident.
